Andy Robertson Tottenham Hotspur Shirt Number 2026-27: What Number Will He Wear?

What shirt number will Andy Robertson wear at Tottenham Hotspur?

Andy Robertson is expected to wear a new shirt number at Tottenham Hotspur for the 2026-27 season, with options such as 2, 5, 6, 12 or 27 seen as the most likely. Tottenham officially confirmed his free transfer from Liverpool (joining on 1 July), but the announcement video did not reveal his squad number. Crucially, his career-long No. 26 is not expected to be available, because Spurs have effectively retired it.

Why can’t Andy Robertson wear his iconic No. 26 at Spurs?

Robertson is unlikely to keep No. 26 because Tottenham have unofficially retired the number in honour of club legend Ledley King, the last player to wear it. King made over 300 appearances for Spurs and the shirt has not been formally reassigned to an outfield first-teamer since his retirement. Robertson wore 26 throughout his trophy-laden Liverpool career, so the move forces a switch — driving much of the search interest around his new squad number.

Has Andy Robertson always worn number 26?

Yes — No. 26 became Andy Robertson’s signature number at Liverpool, where he wore it from his 2017 arrival through Premier League and Champions League triumphs. He previously wore other numbers earlier in his career at Dundee United and Hull City, but 26 is the number fans most associate with the Scotland captain. At Tottenham, he will need a fresh number for the first time in years.
